"A Law Agin It."

"Our church has got BRAN new man,
And Sunday being bright and warm,
l thought I'd like to go and hear him;
But ii / know'd twas fashion day,
With wome .ndressed like fancy picters,
To take my mind in sermon time,
I'd stayed at home and read the Scripters.
"I'm old and Pm old fashioned, but
notice quick what isn't decent,
And say women act like geese
In aping every style that's recent.
They comb their hair stright up behind,
And put in arrers for to pin it,
And friz and bang it down in front;
There ought to be a law agin it.
"They buy the highest hats there is,
And MAKE 'em higher yet with trimmin',
And feathers frizzlin' out, until
They look like Injuns more than women;
And bustles land, saw onegirl
Who couldn't sit straight up minute.
say it's awful and I say,
There ought to be a law agin it.
"Twan't so when was young-why then
The girls at church was worth a seein';
They didn't dress till folks forgot
TO praise the author of their bein';
Our gowns was neat, with buttons up
And down, in modest rows, to trim 'em
l mind Aunt Polly Jones declared
There ought to be law agin 'em.
"But she was queer; / recollect
The bonnet that got one summer
Had lace and roses on the side,
And so itaike to overcome her,
For when she saw that bunch o. lace,
With artificial posies in it,
She just rolled up her eyes and said
There ought to be law agin it."

SCIo. Linn Co., May s, 1887.
Ed. Register-Again write you a
few lines, seeing soma of the readers
wish to hear from me through the
REGISTER. We had nice win ter here
up to the Goth of January. Then we
had very stormy weather, with snow
and rain, and the rain continues up to
now. Farmers are all behind in put
ting in their grain; later than I have
known them for five years. Fall wheat
and oats look well, and If the wet
weather don't cause the rust 1t will be
rich harvest. At the present time
here all farmers are busy; when they
can't farm they are hauling OFT ties for
the Aquina Railroad which is being
built through this valley.
Mr.. Editor, see in April 14th, No.
40, of the REGISTER, Judge Emerson's
address to the Collegians, where he
claims Immortality proved by philoso-
ply. Now, az am uneducated in
philosophy. would like to hear the
Judge prove by the Bible that man has
immortality; also giving the Scripture
teaching the mind is man. God called
Adam, man, before he ever gave him
breath; called him man after he made
him of the dust of the ground; aud
when he breathed the breath Of life in.
to his nostrils, he became living soul.
What kind of a soul will the Judge
have him before he received the breath
of life? Also, want him TO give me
Bible proof that man is always con-
scious. Has the Judge never read the
Scriptures: His breath goeth forth,
he returneth to his earth; in that very
day his thoughts perish?" Also, If the
Scriptures teach man to seek for inn
mortality and eternal life If he has al
ready got it? And how can the Judge
ssy that man is immortal, when the
Scriptures say none but God alone hath
Immortality? hope the Judge will
make these points plain by the Script
ures, as mars eternal salvation doesn't
rest on philosophy.
l am very proud to see the letters
from the West End of the county, and
so many of my old friends names, bus
it is very seldom bear from any OF
them except through the REGISTER.
If Mr.. "Tobias," at Goodland will be 80
kind as to give Mr.T.R. Terry my post
office address, think he would GER
tainly write to me.

THE death of Gen. Edward Hop
kins, of Florida, which has Just oc-
CURED at Jacksonville, recalls a re-
markable duel with Gen. Charles
Floyd, his fathers brother-;n-law,
fought in 1870, The most desperate
and deadly preparations were made.
Each one was equipped with double
barreled shotgun, heavily loaded with
bqckshot, a brace of pistols, and a
howie-knife. With view to accom-
plishing the death of one or the other
if guns failed; pistols were to be used,
and if this failed too they were to re-
sort to their knives. At the appointed
time both opened fire without the
usual preliminaries, and Hopkins fell,
pierced with half dozen or more shot.
His antagonist was also seriously
wounded, and both were laid up for
months afterward.

SILLY FEMALES.

It should be reserved for the men
folks to make themselves ridiculous by
their silly acts, but this is not the
view a number of blue blooded, high
bred ladies of St. Paul, Minnesota,
took the other day. 1t had been de-
termined to organize committee of
one hundred and fifty ladies to re-
ceive President Cleveland's party.
The wife Of Ex-Governor now Senator
Davis was naturally the first selected
to serve on the committee, AID the
other one hundred and forty nine de-
Clined to serve because Mrs. Davis
was a seamstress when the Senator mar
ried her. We may be wrong but it
seems to us that they should rather
have honored the woman whose worth
enabled her to fise fram the position
of seamstress and fitted her for the
wife of Governor and United States
Senator. No disgrace to earn ones
daily bread, and certainly no odium
should attach to any honorable en-
-ployment, on the part of women any
more than men,
The one hundred and forty-nine
who refused TO serve on the St. Paul
committee displayed woful lack of
good taste, if not want of common
sense, and their conduct upon sober
second thought ought to cause them
to hang their heads in shame. By
the way, an examination into the
pedigrees of some of those same ladies
who tossed their naughty heads and
turned up their delicate noses at the
idea of serving on committee with
a former seamstress, even though she
now be the Ietted wife ola man high in
official position, intelligent, cultivated
ard refined, and the equal perhaps of
either one Of them in nobility of char
acter and true womanly virtues, might
lead to some interesting disclosures.

point at which he must be met and

in his hurried tour, to see us and be

the most central and convenient point.

camels, both wild and tame, are to be
found in this country, outside Of the
circuses and geological gardens, yet
such is fact, There are said to be
numbers of them in Texas, and some
of them will be on exhibition at State
fair at Dallas this fall. The first OF
these animals were brought to the State
by the government in 1852 to test
their usefulness in crossing the Ameri-

from Arabia, and were the ancestors
of those now in the State.

HERE is an example of heroic self
denial for you: Vincenno Juliano,
an Italian, in New York City, charged
with the murder of one of his country
men, has been discovered starving
himself in order to give his prison
fatiops to his family: His wife who
visited him daily carried the food
away in bundle: The warden has
now ordered double allowance for
the prisoner, and will endeayor to
enlist public charity for the destitute
family. Many man in the full en-
ioyment of his freedom and robust
health, has been less provident and
thoughtful of the welfare of his fam
lily; and more than that, has deprived
them of the earnings of a weak and
slckly wife, perhaps. Some man should
take lesson from this unfortunate
but in one respect at least, noble
hearted Italian.
